Cybele Blood, LCSW:Â Your Best Online Mental Health Service Provider
Sometimes a good therapist is the best choice to help enhance coping and functioning. My name is Cybele (she/her), and I bring you 10+ years of solid clinical experience with a wide variety of teen and adult clients. I am effective with a broad range of issues, including trauma, grief, addiction, depression, anxiety, concerns pertaining to neurodiversity, gender dysphoria, performance improvement, life changes, and more.
I serve all of Utah via telehealth. In case you have doubts about online therapy, please know, research demonstrates that telehealth works well. Many people are unsure about virtual meetings at first but come to prefer it, as it is very convenient. I make it feel personal and make it safe therapy space for you.
Making a safe, welcoming, and accessible space for ALL is important to me. I strive toward inclusivity, respect, and social justice. You will find me refreshingly genuine and authentic in my personal style, while also highly professional and respectful of boundaries. Most of my life I lived outside Utah, including long stretches in New York City and Los Angeles, which helped build my open-mindedness. Yet I am also well experienced with issues of particular importance to Utahns, such as LDS faith transitions and family conflicts, and even mountain sports performance issues. I have been a part of the outdoor sports community for over 20 years. I welcome and honor all spiritual/cultural orientations, including agnostic, atheist, Buddhist, Jewish, Pagan, and Christian (including LDS).
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming and alternative lifestyle-friendly.
​
You can have excellent individual or couples therapy with me. I am trained in CBT, CPT, DBT, ACT, Mindfulness, Somatic-based therapies and other evidence-based therapy methods, and Gottman Method Level 2 couples therapy. I am a Certified Compassionate Bereavement Care provider trained by Dr. Joanne Cacciatore and endorsed by MISS Foundation. I have worked with traumatically bereaved clients for 10 years, and done a variety of original research/publishing on traumatic grief.
Our meetings and work together will always be grounded in my respect for you. I am a deep listener here to support you with changes you want to make or simply the journey you have been set upon by life circumstance.
A great variety of people have successfully worked with me on a great variety of issues,
and I truly work well with both teenagers and adults of all ages.
​
Currently I am accepting new clients. Together we will implement therapy goals to help you move into your best future. I accept most Select Health, PEHP, BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, and UHC insurance plans; some Medicare and Medicaid plans; self pay; and also sliding scale self pay to help make therapy affordable for everyone.
Please feel free to email or call me with any questions, or to have a consultation to see if I could be a good fit.
I look forward to discussing how we can work together towards your peak wellness!
